  • Questionable Love Affair - 2005 Cadillac SRX
    By -

    My previous car fell apart @ 530,00 miles. After tons of research, I found my SRX & fell in love with the price & the great condition for being used. 36 days into owning it, on a weekend trip, it made some funny noises. We pulled over a lot, but other than the check emissions light, nothing appeared to be wrong. The next morning, I started it up & the engine sounded HORRIBLE! We checked the oil & there WASNT ANY! We put nearly 6qts of oil in it and took it to the dealer the next day. There wasnt any sign of a leak & the dealer said it hadnt used oil either. Its purred like a kitten ever since & no more oil loss. Has anyone had this happen to them or explain what might have happened?

  • Outstanding SRX - 2005 Cadillac SRX
    By -

    Drove about 5 used SRXs before I selected this one. They all drive differently - mainly suspension. I particularly love the smoothness of acceleration and braking. Had wood steering wheel and console... added wood kit from dealer. Previously had a Mercury Mountaineer. Like the increased gas mileage - averaging 18.9 in mixed driving per the computer.

  • My 05 Certified SRX - 2005 Cadillac SRX
    By -

    Have only owned this vehicle for 1 week! Got a certified 100,000 mile one with 40K miles. Turns heads. I am currently getting in mixed highway and street travel 20.8 miles per gallon. Very please compared to that of most SUVs. Handles very well when pushed too. Otherwise it is a very smooth highway cruiser. Nice alternative to my old SUV!

    The 2005 Cadillac SRX is smooth,speedy, and agile. It is great fun to drive with performance that may startle you. If youre looking for a beautiful, refined, performance SUV with great styling; drive this one. This might be the best vehicle that Ive ever owned.

    By -

    Fine all purpose SUV type car. Good on the road and in town. Best styled of all SUVs. So many of the others look alike - the SRX is the only SUV people comment favorably the design. Have taken it around Montana in the summer and Texas in the winter.

  • Great Car!! - 2005 Cadillac SRX
    By -

    This is the second SRX I have owned. The 2005 is a nice upgrade from the 2004. This car gets lots of looks! On the road gas milleage is 22 MPG, not bad for 320 HP engine. Love the car.

  • Bug free for 2 years - 2005 Cadillac SRX
    By -

    This is the first American car Ive purchased in 25 years and I cant believe it hasnt had a single bug or problem with it. This is a first in any car Ive ever owned! Used to Drive Lexus and BMW but ill stick with Cadillac since the car has been dependable and America needs my business.
